LEARN BOWEN

Margaret Spicer is a registered Bowtech trainer and assessor, offering regular courses in Sydney. She has been a Bowenwork practitioner for more than 20 years, teaching Bowtech, the original Bowen Technique since 2000. She has co-developed and taught the Mind Body Bowen Workshop since 2002.

The specialised Bowen training for Certificate IV in Bowen Therapy 10533NAT takes the form of a series of seven two-day, hands-on training modules, which need to be completed in sequence. Training Package Units are available by distance learning through Bowen Training Australia.

In the first module, Module 1, you will be introduced to the Bowen move and relaxation procedures and be exposed to the power of Bowen as a healing modality.

Further modules take you step by step through the Bowen training, introducing new procedures to address a wide range of problems that clients may present with.

Each Bowen module is taught over a two-day period. Margaret teaches 2 modules (e.g. Modules 1 & 2) over four consecutive days. The timing of the training allows plenty of time to revise and consolidate techniques between modules.

Additionally, Bowen Training Australia offers a wide range of continuing education workshops (see below & Mind Body Bowen tab). While these workshops are not part of the nationally recognised training, they are Bowtech-accredited and eligible for Continuing Education points with Bowen Association Australia.

Practitioner Review Days provide the opportunity to address all covered procedures from a practitioner and clinical aspect, whilst gaining CE (continuing education) credits.

Day A includes all the Module 1-7 lower body procedures, Day B, the upper body procedures. Day C covers Lower Body assessment of the lumbar, pelvic, hip and lower limb, related SP1 Procedures and clinical aspects from a practitioner perspective, and Day D includes Upper Body assessment of the neck, thoracic, shoulder and upper limb areas.

Additionally any day/s reviewed from the Bowen Module 3 to 6 program provide a CEU option too as specialised workshops – see Mind Body and Bowen for more information.

Margaret, in conjunction with Anne Schubert, also a Senior Bowtech Instructor, has been instrumental in developing the Mind Body Bowen Workshops. They have taken this continually evolving practitioner workshop around Australia since 2002, the U.K. and Europe from 2004, N.Z. from 2005, U.S.A. from 2006, Canada from 2007 and Singapore 2009.

Mind Body Bowen (MBB) takes the Bowen move/s and together with mindfulness explores the relationship of the moves to the body’s bio-electric fields, muscle/meridian and fascial links. MBB is an aspect of Bowen especially useful for clients with chronic conditions, or returning problems. Each session is individualised to the client’s needs.

Bowenwork links with the field of mind-body healing, the ‘when less is best’ principle, priorities for treatment, components and post-traumatic stress issues. Addressing links to the subtle anatomy of the body (e.g. muscle/meridian correspondences) the holistic nature Bowen therapy linking the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual can be explored.
